Quote ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SCO: One million lines of Linux 'stolen'
19 August 2003 SCO Group has made its most thorough and emphatic presentation yet of its case against systems giant IBM over claims that the open source operating system Linux contains misappropriated code.
The presentation was made to 650 developers and channel partners at its annual user conference in Las Vegas, Nevada and helped flesh out SCO's claims after months of confusion, claim and counter-claim.
Chris Sontag, vice president of SCOsource, SCO's intellectual property licensing arm,
claimed that 1,549 files amounting to more than one million lines of code had been
contributed by IBM to Linux -- the clearest indication yet of the scale of SCO's complaint.
EndQuote ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, Now for my Question(s) and MAYBE someone more fimiliar with kernel development can correct me.
A: Their Claim is against the 2.4 and latter kernel. Right?
It is AGAINST NUMA, RCU and JFS and XFS being included
in the 2.4 and latter stuff .... right?B: They are CLAIMING over 1 million lines of code "stolen" right?
Does not the 2.2 kernel itself, in which they have not problem with
have around 4 million lines of code?My question is , based on the amount of code "stolen", and put into the latest kernel ..... and based upon the 4 (+/-) million lines of kernel code in 2.2 WOULD NOT this be a almost MAJOR COMPLETE rewrite of the kernel to replace with the 1 to 2 million lines of code SCO says is stolen ?
